Residential Water Softeners, Whole House Filtration & Purification Sytems
Whether you have a well water system, spring water system, or city water issues, we can help you. There is no water quality problem that we cannot create a solution for:
The continuous water cycle…
Nature intended us to have high quality water. This is why we have the continuous water cycle, whereby water from our oceans, rivers, lakes and streams falls to the ground as rain or snow and becomes filtered as it seeps through the earth's surface. As the water works its way through the ground, however, it picks up minerals by dissolving limestone, causing water hardness. Water may also come into contact with iron, manganese, Arsenic and other contaminants, which cause additional water treatment problems. The chart below lists typical whole house water quality problems and indicates which equipment effectively corrects any problems you may have in your home.
| Water Quality Problems | Symptoms | Recommended Equipment |
| Hardness | Mineral deposits on dishes and glassware; stiff, dingy laundry; high soap usage and need for fabric softeners; dry, itchy skin and scalp; unmanageable hair; extra work to remove soap curd on bathtubs and shower stalls; high energy costs due to scale build-up in pipes and on appliances. | Water Softener. |
| Chlorine, foul odors and tastes | Chlorine taste; foul odors; damage to hair; itchy skin. | Backwashing filter using activated carbon. |
| Iron & Manganese | Unpleasant metallic tastes; rust particles; staining on plumbing fixtures; red water; odors. | Iron filter. |
| Turbidity | Cloudy water; sediment, sand, silt and rust particles. | Media filter. |
| Acidic water (low pH) | Green stains on bathroom sinks and other porcelain surfaces; blue green water. (Acidic water may cause corrosion of pipes & plumbing fixtures.) | Acid neutralizer using Calcite. |
| Tannin | Brownish, tea colored water; musty odors. | Tannin filter. |
| Arsenic | A naturally occurring element found in ground water, Arsenic is a carcinogen at high concentrations, and the EPA reports Arsenic may cause adverse health effects in low concentrations. Testing for Arsenic is highly recommended. | Arsenic Reduction System. |
Watts® water softeners
"Hard" water is not considered unhealthy; however, hard water problems end up costing you money through increased soap usage, reliance on water softening products and shorter life for appliances due to scale build-up in pipes and other factors. To correct water hardness, Watts offers a wide range of water conditioning systems, designed to improve water quality throughout your entire household.
Enjoy these many benefits Watts® water softeners provide
- Spot-free glassware and dishes.
- No mineral deposits on bathtubs and shower stalls.
- Brighter, softer laundry.
- Less reliance on water softening products.
- Dramatic reduction in soap usage.
- Manageable hair because shampoo works better.
- Pipes remain free of calcium scale build-up.
- Extended life of appliances and reduced energy costs because scale is virtually eliminated.
- Spot-free car wash (if softened water is used).
Metered valve for greater efficiency
Our control valve is metered for greater efficiency and reduced salt usage, because regeneration of the softener resin is based on water consumption. Push button settings provide ease-of-use. Model selection is typically based on water hardness, water usage, water source and other factors.
Two equipment types
Watts water softeners are available in two configurations, including:
Single tank
Single tank systems include one tank for the softening resin, a brine tank for salt, used to regenerate the softening resin and our metered

Watts® whole house filters for Iron, Sulfur, and Manganese reduction
Iron is one of the most common elements found in nature, and most ground waters contain a measurable amount of iron. Iron stains bathtubs, toilets, sinks, driveways and it will even stain the side of your house in sufficient concentrations. Watts offers two media types to remove iron in point-of-entry applications.
Note:
The use of chemicals and oxidizers, such as chlorine, potassium permanganate and oxygen may be required for both systems to provide the optimal treatment for Iron, Hydrogen Sulfide and Manganese.
Two media types:
Filox™ system advantages
- Highest flow rate of any iron removal media.
- No oxidizing chemicals needed for regeneration.
- High efficiency with 80% manganese dioxide for enhanced performance and capacity.
- Effective, from 5.0 to 9.0 pH.
- System is easy to program, with 10 pre-programmed regeneration cycles to optimize water treatment.

Watts™ whole house filters for Arsenic reduction using highly effective MEDIA G2R® for exceptional performance.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring element found in ground water in may parts of the world. The World Health Organization and the U.S. EPA recognize Arsenic as a carcinogen and have determined it may cause long-term adverse health effects in concentrations above 10 ppb.
Arsenic concentration map for the United States
Note: US map is not detailed enough to accurately reflect water quality in any specific area. We highly recommend testing for Arsenic.
Media G2R® 
Media G2R uses a patented process, whereby two components are combined to produce a unique water treatment media, which outperforms conventional Arsenic reduction materials.
Media G2R® advantages are as follows:
- Adsorbs both Arsenic III and IV.
- NSF standard 61 certified.
- Performs over a wide range of pH, up to 8.
- Long life expectancy to reduce costs.
- Engineered for residential applications.
- Proven results!
Electronic control
A control valve with special electronics is used to determine when capacity has been reached. This provides assurance only safe water is being provided by the system.
